The Wise Are Who They Are.....

Do you ever feel like the clueless one in the room? Like, "Everyone else got the memo except me??"  Or, similarly...."Why did I just say that?? I sound so dumb..."

There are things about ourselves that we want to get rid of; there are things we'd like to change. What I'm coming to realize is, that we don't need to be too combative, too ruthless, too desperate. The name for believing in our ability to grow and change is having a Growth Mindset.
Growth Mindset allows for the belief in opportunities for change & improvement.

An Ugly Duckling 
In the story of The Ugly Duckling, when did the Ugly Duckling stop feeling Ugly?
When he realized that he was a Swan! (and he believed it!)
Each of us has something hidden inside somewhere, something Special....a Swan of some sort. But until we recognize that it's there, we might find ourselves splashing around, just treading water. Recognizing and trusting our own Inner Nature is a step toward becoming Wise, toward having a Growth Mindset. And when we can touch this, we begin to feel more whole. 

The Unified Field
Dr. Joe Dispensa talks about the "unified field" as a field of information that governs all the laws of nature. That the moment you connect to it, you feel like you already have everything you want. And when we begin to feel connected to something greater, we can trust in the unknown. I think when we realize our ability to touch this,  feelings of "lesser than" diminish. The feelings of wholeness also elicit confidence, a sense of peace....happiness. 
Sounds good, right?  What's the secret?
 
If the Ugly Duckling "realized" he was actually a Swan, "recognized" his true potential, perhaps the secret is in the process of opening up and listening closely enough to see it. Making time to sit quietly and think; and having meaningful conversations where true listening is taking place seem like steps in this direction. Toward becoming Wise for knowing Who I Am.
